The adjustor on the exhaust camshaft is around 350 to replace iirc

If he's saying he can do all that you've stated for £380 parts and labour that's a good price.

You want to be buying this http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,104715.0.html

Making two good cars out of both units - sell the above repaired and yours will be fixed with the profit.

Post by: Pesky jones on April 03, 2016, 08:04:04 pm: The cam chain tensioner is definitely not around 380 quid. The adjustor is, which I why mentioned it.

Perhaps parts of the failed follower has damaged the tensioner

Part number of tensioner 06F109217A

For example I got my cam chain tensioner and the chain for 30 off ebay. Not 100% its genuine though

Tensioner is 06F109217A

Pesky beat me too it
